Letter from the
Alumni Director
Dear Alumni and Friends,
We welcomed the newest alumni members
into the Alumni Association with the June 5, 2010 graduation of the
St. Vincent-St. Mary Class of 2010.
I know you will enjoy reading about all of their achievements,
successes and future endeavors. The STVM Alumni Association
officially welcomed the VM10 Class which consisted of 147
members during the Senior Farewell Mass on May 27th. This class of
147 students has 48 parents that are alumni of St. Mary, St. Vincent
or St. Vincent-St. Mary High School. It is interesting to note that the
incoming freshmen, Class of 2014, represents a total of 190 students
with 59 alumni parents.
The newly elected 2010-2011 Alumni Council Officers and
Committee members are planning an exciting year of events. We
hope that you can join us to rekindle old friendships and create some
new memories.
Don’t forget to mark your calendars for October 1st and plan
to attend the Come Home for Homecoming Alumni Reunion
event (p. 2).We are proud to acknowledge over 109 years worth
of graduating classes and decided to honor all classes ending in ‘5
or ‘0, and started our listing at 1935! The evening includes a tour
of the school, refreshments, as well as entertainment by our very
own STVM Marching Band and Cheerleaders. If you can join us,
be sure to attend the 7:00 p.m. football game when STVM takes on
Garfield High School and sit in the bleacher section reserved for the
Come Home For Homecoming Alumni Reunion! Please RSVP by
September 15th so that we can better prepare for the number of
guests that will attend.
I am often asked the question, “When did our school start?” The
history and traditions of our school today is a reflection of the
wonderful academic heritage that began with St. Mary High School
and St. Vincent High School. As a recap, I have included a summary
of our history below:
St. Mary High School - Fall of 1897, the first Catholic high school
in Akron, Ohio opened its doors to students. The first class to
graduate from St. Mary High School was in 1901. In 75 years of
operation, St. Mary High School graduated 4,351 students.
St. Vincent High School – Opened in the fall of 1906, and the first
graduating class was in 1910. In 65 years of operation, St. Vincent
High School graduated 6,626 students.
St. Vincent-St. Mary High School – Fall of 1972, St. Vincent
and St. Mary High Schools became St. Vincent-St. Mary High
School. The first STVM graduating class was in 1973 and totaled
237 students. In 38 years of operation, STVM has graduated 6,570
students.
Congratulations VM10 and welcome to the Alumni Association!
Many blessings to you and your family,
Kathy Zehenni Holaday VM77

Kathy Holaday wishes to thank Lisa Pelfrey and
her son, Lane Pelfrey, a Senior at Wayne County
Schools Career Center in Smithville. Lisa and
Lane live in Rittman and Lane’s favorite hobby
is BMX biking. While biking in Rittman, Lane
found a VM01 ring alongside the road in the
grass. Lisa contacted Andy Jalwan, STVM
Athletic Director and returned the ring to
STVM.
After some research of the VM01 class list, Kathy Holaday, STVM
Alumni Director, contacted Shawn Ferguson VM01 (pictured above)
who confirmed that the STVM State Wrestling Championship ring
belonged to him! Shawn visited the STVM office to retrieve his ring
and was very appreciative of the effort that was taken to return his
VM State Champ ring! Shawn is a 2004 University of Akron graduate
with an International Buisness Degree. He is currently self-employed
and is a representative for Supplemental Insurance Benefits.

The STVM Alumni Association hosted the Annual Father Thomas
Mahar Outstanding Alumni Awards Banquet on April 22, 2010 at
The Tangier Restaurant. The 2010 Mahar Awards Banquet was a
wonderful evening celebrating the talents of our alumni and dedicated
friends. The highlights of the evening included welcoming the four
Mahar Recipients into the Mahar Class of 2010.
The Father Thomas F. Mahar Outstanding Alumni Award honors
living graduates of St. Mary, St. Vincent and St. Vincent-St. Mary High
Schools who exemplify the spirit and values of Catholic Secondary
Education in one or more of five related areas: ministry, service to
youth, service to school, service to community and professional
achievement. Since its inception in 1979, this award has been presented
to 101 outstanding alumni from our school(s).
Congratulations to these distinguished and impressive 2010 Mahar
Recipients: Sr. Joan Monsour, IHM M51, Richard “Dick” Lang V56,

pleased to present the recipients of the Irish Crusader Award.
The St. Vincent-St. Mary Alumni Association Irish Crusader Award
was created in 2008 to honor and recognize those individuals who have
a longstanding and positive relationship with St. Mary, St. Vincent or
St. Vincent-St. Mary High School. Even though these individuals are
not graduates of St. Mary, St. Vincent or STVM High School, they
play an active and important role in the day-to-day running of our
school and special events which is integral to the success of our school.
During the 2010 Mahar Banquet, the Irish Crusader Award Recipients
were presented with honorary alumni status and became honorary
members of the STVM Alumni Association.
Congratulations to the 2010 Irish Crusader Award Recipients:
Roger Barker and Gary Johnson.

On Tuesday, March 23, 2010 at
the Student Union Ballroom
at The University of Akron,
Bill Costigan V67 received the
prestigious Buchtel Award in
Social Sciences. The Buchtel
Award honors those who
“significantly enhance the greater
good of our community and
recognizes vision, leadership,
and community building as
exemplified by The University of
Akron’s principal founder, John
R. Buchtel.” Congratulations
Bill!
L-R : Mayor Don Plusquellic presents
proclamation to Bill Costigan, Sr. V39
bill costigan, sr. v39 May 19, 2010 was proclaimed as “Bill Costigan,
Sr. V39 Day” not only at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, but throughout
the City of Akron by proclamation of Mayor Don Plusquellic. This special
presentation was a surprise for Bill Costigan, Sr., a graduate of St. Vincent
High School Class of 1939. He was visibly touched by the warm welcome he
received from STVM students, faculty, family, and friends as he entered the
STVM gymnasium. Bill Costigan, Sr. was even more surprised to see the Irish
community donning white commemorative t-shirts emblazoned with his
picture and the name and date of the occasion.
During the recognition ceremony, Bill Costigan, Sr. learned that the former
Costigan building at the corner of W. Market and N. Maple streets has been
turned into a state-of-the-art baseball and softball training facility named in
his honor. Following the ceremony, all invited guests enjoyed refreshments
and received tours of the newly dedicated Bill Costigan, Sr. V39 STVM
Baseball and Softball Training Facility. Joanne Zaratsian, STVM Director of
Major Gifts, noted, “Bill Costigan, Sr. and his family truly embody the rich
tradition that STVM is known for. It was truly an honor to host this event.”
Mary Breiding VM84 teaches at an inner city Akron Public School,
McEbright Elementary. Many of her students live with grandparents or in
foster care. Eight years ago, Mary inadvertently started an adopt-a-family
program when she bought gifts for one family that experienced unexpected
financial challenges at Christmas time.
This past year the McEbright Elementary Adopt-a-Family program,
headed by Mary Breiding, was able to support 40 students and their 17
families. Mary has a number of “anonymous” volunteers, known as the “Santa
helpers,” which include many Breiding family members, St Vincent-St. Mary
alumni, friends and businesses.
Mary graciously accepts assistance from many sources in order to help
her students. As a result, her students are able to experience the miracle and
wonder of Santa on Christmas morning, no matter their family circumstance,
due to the generosity of the volunteers. It is a lovely way to experience the
true spirit of Christmas – generosity that makes such a concrete difference
in the lives of the McEbright students and their families. It truly serves as an
inspiration to Mary and encourages her to do more for her students.

Joseph May V54 is active in
Catholic Worker of Akron
(CWA), an organization that
helps and assists the homeless.
Catholic Worker Movement
was founded by Dorothy Day
and Peter Maurin in 1933 and
Joe likes to refer to CWA as the
“hidden candle under the bushel
basket.”
Joe visited the STVM Alumni
Office in March 2010 and shared
the purpose and mission of
CWA. CWA’s mission is “to serve
the poor in the city of Akron;
to offer hospitality, including
shelter, food, emotional and
spiritual support to families and
individuals who are in need of
assistance, and enable them
to become self-sufficient.” In
addition to the hospitality that
is offered at the houses located
on Princeton Street, CWA also
provides tutoring for the young
children, assistance with reentering the workforce as well as
transportation to appointments.
The Peter Maurin Center is
located on South Main Street
and serves as a “drop-in-center”
not only providing meals but
also fellowship for those in need.
Joe received the Catholic
Commission’s Bishop William
M. Cosgrove Justice Award in
2008 for his involvement with
CWA.

Troy portis vm06
Troy Portis VM06 graduated
from Walsh University and
reflects on his high school
experience ….
As a STVM graduate I
was spiritually, mentally, and
emotionally prepared to attend
Walsh University. The qualities
that our school possesses gave
me the confidence to enter
college and immediately take
on a leadership role while
maintaining an above average
grade point. STVM created
a foundation for me that is
embedded in the teachings
of our Lord with the goal to
educate students so that each
individual can reach his/her
potential.
I was extremely prepared
for college after attending
STVM and I cannot imagine
receiving an education from any
other high school. The family
atmosphere and loving faculty
members will always hold a
special place in my heart!

Marilyn Snyder Dickel M60 reports...
St. Mary’s Class of 1960 joined together to celebrate the 50th
Anniversary of their graduation day from St. Mary High School
at a class Mass held on June 5, 2010 at 5:30 p.m. The Mass was
concelebrated by Father Burba and classmate Father Sam Ciccolini.
M60 Classmates participated in the liturgy: servers — George Huffman
and Victor Estafen, readers — Dolores Estafen Ohmer and Larry
Lauter, petitions — written by Pat Nash Butke and read by Penny
Sabolesky Roush.
After the Mass most of us went on a tour of the school. This
brought back many memories. We then went to Spaghetti Warehouse.
The rest of our reunion will be held at Sheraton Suites on
September 24th and 25th.
If you have not received the information, call Marilyn at 330-8254683.
Lynne Wall Peters M65 reports…
The St. Mary Class of 1965 had their 45th reunion the weekend of
May 21st and 22nd. The weekend started on Friday with the 5:30
p.m. Mass. We invited all alumni of St. Mary High School since the
church was scheduled to close in June. We had an overwhelming turn
out of around 300 people. It was gratifying to see how many of the
graduates still hold a place in their hearts for St. Mary Church. All of
the graduates that attended were invited to join our class on the front
steps of the church for a group picture. It was quite an effort to get
everyone gathered. Special thank you to Patty Dyer Burdon M69 for
her efforts in this photo opportunity!
Mass and photo session were followed by an informal tour of the
school and refreshments in the cafeteria. With the help of the STVM
Alumni Office we had various class pictures to display that everyone
enjoyed. The St. Mary alumni that attended our special reunion event
included graduates from 1940 -1972. It was a wonderful evening.
Saturday night was the dinner/dance for our classmates at
Thomastown Party Center. The food was great, the DJ engaging and
everyone got up to dance, proving that the Class of 1965 still has it!
We still meet monthly on various Saturdays for breakfast at the
Waterloo. For more information contact Lynne Wall Peters 330-4942649 or Rosie Jordan Federico 330-434-8707.

Dear Alumni and Friends,
When I attended St. Vincent–St. Mary High School back in the
late 70’s, I remember seeing so many alumni here at the school.
Student events, football games, basketball games, plays, musicals,
and many family oriented fundraisers. Now as I return as the
Chief Operating Officer of St. Vincent–St. Mary High School
thirty-four years later, I see that the same tradition that we were
very fortunate to be part of in the 70’s, is still strong. However the alumni participation
seems to be declining and I ask myself every day, what can we do to get our wonderful
alumni involved again?
St. Vincent–St. Mary High School has an impressive track record of grooming young
boys and girls into confident, well-educated, and successful men and women. Many of us
would not be where we are today if it were not for the alumni who were a constant and
active part of our high school experience. It is heartwarming to see that many of the same
alumni that provided us the means for success back in the 70’s, continue to be the same
alumni providing the support needed today.
There are many ways to provide support; financial support being the first and
foremost area — something that all private schools will need for years to come. In
addition, there are many areas and facets to STVM that would gladly welcome your
time and talents — various academic and extracurricular organizations, parent groups,
alumni groups — the list is endless.
If you have been blessed with a rewarding career, and you have the means to support
our school financially, then please help as much as you can. The true cost of education
is approximately 16% higher than the actual tuition charged. Today’s economy has left
many of our families struggling to make tuition payments, and some may be faced
with having to withdraw a son or daughter from STVM. If you can help keep a student
enrolled at STVM, you will make a positive and lasting impact on their life.
If you would like additional information, as to how you can help these families,
please call me at the school, and I will be happy to explain our Irish Academic Partner
(IAP) program with you.
Also, if you haven’t been to the school in recent years, please call us to schedule a
tour. We would love to show you what’s new at STVM.
Planning for the future
God Bless,
Thomas M. Carone
Chief Operating Officer

Annual
Appeal
Pat hart v68 elected
stvm executive board chairman
We welcome Pat Hart V68 as the newly-elected
Chair of the STVM Executive Board. Pat has served
on the Executive Board since December 2008. Pat graduated from St. Vincent High School in
1968 and received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in
Political Science from The University of Akron four
years later. He earned his law degree from The University of Akron
School of Law in 1975. Following law school, Pat joined the Akron Prosecutor’s Office in
1976 and went into the private practice of law in 1980. Pat is a partner
with the law firm, The Scanlon Group Co., L.P.A.
Over the years, Pat has been active in professional and community
service organizations. In years past, he has served on the Boards of
Catholic Social Services, West Akron Baseball League and the Akron
Bar Association. He is a past president of the Summit County Trial
Lawyers Association. He presently serves as Chair of the Board of
Akron CYO and Community Services.
“It’s an honor and a privilege to serve our school and be involved in
an indirect way in the educating of our students during these exciting,
informative years. The quality, energy and enthusiasm of our faculty
and staff is very impressive. Together with the help of the Board
and our alumni, the STVM community has a very bright future,”
commented Pat.

Classmates from V50 gathered to encourage their fellow alumni to continue the
tradition of excellence
classes meet the 2010 challenge
Approximately $190,000 raised!
An all out effort was put forth from our alumni for the
2010 Green & Gold Annual Appeal! The Development
Office is grateful to all the alumni and friends who
volunteered their time to help us garner support for
this year’s important appeal. Representatives from the
past 62 years came into the school during the months of
March and April to sign and post script letters challenging
their classmates to collectively contribute towards an
$8,000 tuition. Many people used this opportunity to include reunion
information and other class news with the mailing.
Calling out to these class representatives has been gratifying. I have
found they are more than willing to help us. Their assistance and
encouragement in challenging their classmates has proven to be an
invaluable asset! Through their efforts, the Green & Gold 2010 Annual
Appeal increased the Alumni giving. Be sure to look for the class
giving lists in the next Annual Giving Report! Thank you!
This tradition is only going to get bigger and better each year. Next
year! Same time! Same Place!

Joseph Bennett VM75 shakes hands with junior Pat Connell
Speaker series Featured
Dru joyce, curtis wilson vm83
When Dru Joyce was asked to
take over the head coaching duties
at STVM, he accepted and was
determined to instill seven core
values in his players.
Joyce quotes STVM’s mission
statement, saying it helped him
discover his role in life. “The first
Joanne Zaratsian, Dru Joyce and Dave
time I read that statement back in
Rathz at February Speaker Series
2000, the words really resonated
with me because I believe that’s my purpose, to coach the inner and
outer man,” Joyce said.
During the February Speaker Series, Joyce spoke of the seven core
values of humility, discipline, unity, servitude, integrity, thankfulness,
and passion.
“The team is beginning to understand that it’s about more than the
individual, and that life and our basketball program began before them
and will continue long after them,” Joyce remarked.
Nick Shook VM10, Excerpted from Leprechaun Gold, March 2010 Issue
Curtis Wilson VM83 addressed the
April 30th Speaker Series Meeting.
Nearly 100 invited guests, seniors,
juniors and many teachers filled
the gymnasium where Curtis’
retired No. 10 basketball jersey
now hangs.
Curtis’ speech touched on the
importance of family, friendships,
building relationships and
Curtis Wilson VM83 and his retired
community. He told the students,
jersey #10
“I hope to inspire you to greater
heights and help you envision or get more focused on your future
because at the end of the day, you have to own it at an individual
level.”
Curtis explained how his parents prepared him for life and how
important it is to do your best to excel at every endeavor in this life.
Curtis learned from his parents “it’s not how you start, but how you
finish, and how will you respond and react when the world knocks you
down.”
He recalled his high school days at St. Vincent-St. Mary, mentioning
his former teachers, playing basketball, and making friends with
classmate Mark Paxton. Many of those teachers, his former basketball
coach Joe Suboticki, and Mark Paxton attended the meeting. Many
members of the Wilson family also attended, among them his mother
Barbara, wife Deborah and his son and daughter.
Curtis resides with his family in Montclair, New Jersey, and is the
Vice President & General Manager, National Client Group, American
Express Company – Merchant Services Americas, where he has
worked for the past 20 years.
Speakers —Welcomed!

jim kelly memorial scholarship
The Jim Kelly Memorial Scholarship Reverse Raffle – Silent Auction
was held at Guy’s Party Centre on May 20, 2010. It truly was an
“Elegant Evening of Dining and Bonne Chance.” Once again, this
annual event was sold out. Jerry Kelly and her volunteers worked
tirelessly to present another successful raffle in memory of her
husband, Jim Kelly V50.
To date, 112 incoming freshman have received the Jim Kelly
Memorial Scholarship. Jerry Kelly is always quick to point out to her
guests that it is not just ‘her’ scholarship. Every one who supports the
Jim Kelly Memorial Reverse Raffle has played an important role and
made the difference in the lives of the scholarship recipients.
Shamrock Society Paves the way
Members of the Shamrock Society play an
integral role in the St. Vincent-St. Mary High
School community. These donors continue
to remember us year after year. And, they are
making a difference with their ongoing support.
After working in Development for the past 11
years, I am still amazed by the overwhelming
response and dedication from our members.

e-mail correspondence with the most up to date information regarding
activities, events and accomplishments throughout the year. They also
receive an official donor recognition key for free admittance for two
to all theater and band performances and athletic events held on the
St. Vincent-St. Mary campus.
This listing represents Shamrock Society donors who made
contributions during the past fiscal year. The members of this
distinguished group donated $1,000 or more annually to our school in
Shamrock
Society
support of general operating, tuition
assistance, endowment, capital campaign
and scholarships.
St. Vincent-St. Mary High School gratefully
recognizes the following donors for their generosity.

their new scholarship. They are sporting spirit gear from the universities they will attend
this fall
class of 2010 leave lasting legacy
When the St. Vincent-St. Mary High School Class of 2010 graduated
on June 5th at E.J. Thomas Hall they had every reason to be proud.
The 147 members of the STVM Class of 2010 received a highly
impressive $8.8 Million in scholarship and grant offers with over 14%
of the students receiving full scholarships. From the Class of 2010,
99% of the students will attend college and 94% were accepted at their
first choice college. Aside from successfully completing four years of
the challenging college preparatory curriculum, sitting A.P. Exams,
and taking finals, the STVM Class of 2010 also found time in May to
put the finishing touches on their class gift.
The senior class gift is a long standing tradition at STVM according
to Joanne Zaratsian, Director of Major Gifts. In addition to an
engraved brick in the Walk of Champions at the new Cosgrove Center
which was dedicated at the beginning of their senior year, the STVM
Class of 2010 has even bigger plans for a lasting gift to their alma
mater and future students. The STVM Class of 2010 has established
a scholarship fund to benefit future students at STVM. The members
of this class are well aware that tuition is always increasing and that
many members of their class were able to attend STVM through the
generosity of scholarship donors. As class representatives, Natasha
Kanakkanatt and Michael Ringer noted, “We wanted to establish a
permanent legacy at STVM by giving back and showing our gratitude
to those who went before us!”

In February 2010, Karen Murray, STVM Past Parent and Executive
Director of the Robert O. and Annamae Orr Family Foundation,
approached STVM about establishing a scholarship in honor and
memory of Bob and Annamae Gifford Orr, alumni from the
St. Vincent High School Class of 1939. The Orr Family Foundation
has long provided monetary support to organizations that advance
the quality of life in Summit and Stark counties. Through this new
scholarship the foundation was excited to honor the legacy of Bob
and Annamae Orr as alumni while helping to defray the cost of
tuition for current STVM students. Six inaugural scholarships were
award in early May for the 2010-2011 academic year.

annual event honors donors and Student recipients
On May 10, 2010 the Annual Family & Memorial Scholarship
Reception was held at STVM. The evening dinner reception which
featured a presentation by the STVM Show Choir was attended
by 350 guests including donors, scholarship recipients, and their
families. Through this event the donors had the opportunity to
meet their recipients and the students had a personal opportunity
to thank the donors. Both now and in the future, our students have
the opportunity to further share in this legacy through scholarship
donations. Out of gratitude to the scholarship donors, the student
recipients and their parents made honor and memorial donations
to the STVM Endowment General Trust totaling $1,387.92. It was a
memorable evening for the scholarship benefactors and the students.
Following brief remarks by Endowment Board Member Susie Gaebel
Wallace VM91, Joanne Zaratsian, Director of Major Gifts, expressed
her gratitude to the scholarship donors and challenged the students
to remember what these donors have done to impact their lives and
consider giving back to STVM in the future through a scholarship
themselves. Joanne also announced the exciting news that the STVM
Class of 2010 will honor their alma mater through the establishment
of a scholarship. Our community is blessed to have such a strong
tradition!
continuing a father’s tradition
As STVM celebrates the 25th Silver Anniversary of Showcase on
October 23, 2010, we will also honor the memory of Ralph L. and
Florence Bernard in a new and special way. Last year, Ralph Bernard,
Sr. passed away. We are pleased to announce that Ralph Bernard,
Jr. will continue his parents’ legacy and provide sponsorship for the
$25,000.00 Fund-a-Scholar oral auction item. This annual auction
item raises key funds for scholarships and tuition assistance. Although
STVM lost a wonderful friend and benefactor in Ralph Bernard, Sr.,
the relationship will continue to develop through the Bernard family’s
ongoing dedication and support of Catholic education.

Top honor
The 62nd annual State Science Day was held on Saturday, May 8,
2010 at the French Field House at The Ohio State University. Over
1000 students participated from all over Ohio. Nine students from
St. Vincent-St. Mary High School were invited to participate and
they together, as a team, took home the top honor, the Harold C.
Shaw Outstanding School Award. In order to receive this award 7
out of the 9 students had to receive the top rating of superior and
no one could receive a rating of good and that is exactly what they
did. Congratulations go out to all members of the team: Hannah
Comeriato, John Friess, Renee Horn, Kindelan Huber, Jon Stone,
Devin Sutter, Abby Tanner, Vincenzo Volpe and Olivia Walter. Each
and every one of these students put so much time and effort into

Comments by our STVM
students tell the story. “Being a
member of a university research
team and being treated with
respect was a life changing
experience for me!” Another
quote by a student included, “I
cannot thank The University
of Akron enough for giving me
such an amazing opportunity.
I enjoyed every minute of the
experience.”
Building on the nationally
recognized curricular
foundation of the STVM
Science Inquiry Project, The
University of Akron and
St. Vincent-St. Mary Research
Experience has concluded its
inaugural year with outstanding
success. The partnership with
The UA College of Polymer
Science and Engineering joined
7 scientists, 7 STVM science
teachers, and 7 STVM science
students.
The project seeks to impact
science teachers in learning
how actual research is done and
to better prepare exceptional
students to do research studies
in college. As a member of the
UA Research team, students
benefited from the mentoring of
polymer scientists and engineers
and the use of world class lab
facilities. Our students worked
to complete an enhanced
science project and compete
in the prestigious Northeast
Ohio Science and Engineering
Fair and the Ohio Academy of
Science competitions.
Student participants and their
NEOSEF awards included:
Jon Friess - 1st place Chemistry;
Oliver Hildebrandt - 1st place
Medicine and Health; Joey
Miller - 2nd place Chemistry;
Renee Horn - 2nd place
Medicine and Health; Kindelan
Huber - 3rd place Chemistry;
Abigail Tanner - 1st place
Engineering; and Olivia Walter
- 3rd place Engineering. An
additional 13 awards were
earned by these students.
Their research topics
included:
• Telomerase expression and diagnosing the stage of cancer in a purified cell line.
• Improving invasive material interaction between soft tissue prosthesis and the human body.
• Preparation of polystyrene nanomolecules.
• Creating aerogels to be used by NASA to reduce engine sound.
• Using nanofibers for effective drug delivery in prescription medicine.
• Creating polymer scaffolding to grow cartilage cells in infants born without an outer ear.
On June 8th the Science
Department teachers and

national finals
stvm Baseball team completes
community service project
Coach Anthony Boarman and the STVM Baseball Team assisted
former Chief of Police Craig Gilbride V69, Frank Martucci VM73
and Reverend Bob Denton (grandfather of William VM13) with a
community service project this past spring, which benefited the Victim
Assistance Program and specifically the newly opened facility located
on Furnace Street in Akron, Ohio.
The STVM baseball players, as well as the coaching staff did a
tremendous job helping with the cleanup of the exterior of the
building and various other tasks. Great job Irish!
Members of the STVM Rocket Team, sponsored by National Machine, prepare to blast off
STVM’s Rocket Team Charlie whose members include Greg Sprungle,
Emily Tomon, PJ Morley, Kate Donahue, and Devin Sutter qualified
for the Team America Rocket Challenge National Finals at Great
Meadow in The Plains, Virginia on May 15, 2010.
All of STVM’s rocket teams worked very hard since last September
designing, building and flying rockets in an effort to reach the national
finals competition. Two other teams, Team Bravo and Team Echo
came very close to qualifying and missed being entered into the
finals by a slim margin. STVM is very proud of the hard work and
dedication these students displayed throughout the year and they are
great examples of our wonderful student body! Go Irish!!
Members of the Fighting Irish Baseball Team pitch in to help the Victim Assistance
Program this past spring
Faculty member, Shawn-Paul Allison, Publishes second book
Shawn-Paul Allison,
St. Vincent-St. Mary faculty
member since 1982, has
published his second book! He
began The Gods of Fall: the
Immortali back in the midnineties to keep his 8th period
study hall occupied by giving
them chapters to read. The
original opening chapters lay
dormant on a disc for over 14
years before he dusted it off
and downloaded the contents
once again.
The story has now relocated
to a college campus where
two members of the football
team die under mysterious
circumstances. The drama and
romance of the original story
that took place in a high school
has been replaced by trips back
and forth between the 1880s and
2009 and 2010.
If you could go through a
ceremony that would let you live
forever on this earth, would you
do it? Would it make you sad to
watch the current generation
grow old and pass away? Would
you grow weary of such an
existence?
Pepper the story with good
vs. evil, a mysterious sacred
book called the Kuhduush,
a secret fraternity within a
fraternity, some vampire-like
beings who can suck the life
out of the Immortali on certain
nights of the year when the
meteor showers flash across the
heavens, and you have some
good, fictional summer reading.
The book can be ordered
on-line at iuniverse.com; and
amazon.com. If you would
like an autographed copy, you
can purchase one directly at
St. Vincent-St. Mary. A portion
of the proceeds go to the
student tuition fund. E-mail the
author at sallison@stvm if you’d
like to drop by to pick up a copy
once school begins. Who knows,
you might even find your name
in the story!

farewell, graduates!
welcome, Freshmen!
No sooner do we say goodbye to the Class of
2010, than we welcome our incoming freshman
Class of 2014. It is with great confidence that we
watch our graduating seniors begin their new and
separate life journeys. As a class, their academic
achievements have been outstanding and each
Joanne Wiseman,
of them is well-prepared, both scholastically and
Admissions Director
spiritually, for whatever lies ahead. As members
of the Class of 2010 close one chapter of their lives and open another,
they join the ranks of the more than 17,000 distinguished St.
Vincent-St. Mary alumni who have preceded them.
We eagerly anticipate getting to know the newest members of our
St. Vincent–St. Mary family — the Class of 2014. These freshmen are
about to become a part of a long tradition of greatness, although they
have already distinguished themselves on their own merit. Nineteen
were awarded Irish Academic Scholarships and 28 earned Irish
Opportunity Scholarships based on character, leadership, and service.
Fifty-six received Family and/or Memorial scholarships. Sixty-three
of these freshmen have siblings attending St. Vincent-St. Mary and 59
have parents who are alumni.
All of us are justifiably proud of STVM and our incoming
freshmen have made an excellent decision to become part of our
St. Vincent-St. Mary Family. The administration, faculty, and staff
extend our Irish hospitality and heartily welcome the Class of 2014!
STVM WINS ReD cross bloodmobile
CHALLENGE to save lives

could collect the most blood on a Saturday in the spring.
WE WON… WE BEAT HOBAN!!!!!!!!
Thank you to the students, parents and alumni that saved lives by
donating. A special thank you to the alumni association members who
baked cookies for the event. Food always is a good incentive!

Twenty-eight years after serving as editor of the Leprechaun Gold,
St. Vincent-St. Mary alumna, Angie Spreitzer Charles VM82 returned
to the school as President of a new online sports reporting venture.
Angie made a visit in May to present the Akron Touchdown Club
All-Star Awards to several students and a special Athlete of the Week
Award to senior, Dominique Mitchell. Her company, SportsInk.com,
partnered with the Akron Touchdown Club in honoring top local
athletes.
Angie said she and several partners founded SportsInk.com last
August to provide coverage to an underserved market. “It’s gotten
too expensive and difficult for print media to be able to provide
comprehensive coverage of high school sports,” she said. “At the same
time, reading habits have changed, with more people going online
to read news, especially sports news. People want the immediacy of
the Internet and the ability to view stories with photos, audio files
and videos. We’re excited to be part of this evolution in the media
industry.”
The site covers 13 sports for St. Vincent-St. Mary High School.
